MARRIAGE MAKETH NAN.
A Starchier, Steadier, Stronger Fellow than
When He Was Single


Few men pass through the experience of mar
riage without some change, for better or worse
in their outward condition at least In many
cases the change is an Improvement, a source of
enjoyment to the man himself and a subject of
hatterine comment on the part of his friends
This is especially so with regard to sovenly fell
lows, who often look, after they have come into
the hands of neat and energetic wife, as if
they had just gone through a Turkish bath, had
their cravats tied, and been fitted out newly
by a competent tailor. 1t is with shock
of pleased surprise that one meets a man
OF this character after his marriage, find
ing him not merely clothed, of yore but
dressed brushed and trimmed to his hair, and
well shaved In fact, he seems to have acquired
a set of bones; his back is certainly
straighter. the shape of his head is altered en-
tirely. and pair of well-defined shoulders have
emerged from the mass of cloth under which
they were formerly concealed. Nor is the
change physical only; the married mans morale
has improved He looks out upon the world
with face cleaner and brighter than it was in
his bachelor days. and the consciousness of pre-
sentlne good appearance has raised him 30 per
cent IN his own estimation; and therefore %
per cent in the opinion of Others. All this is
due to marriage-an institution that sages and
cynics In every age have ridiculed

The Charlottesville Presbytery, in session at

seded by lengthy and vigorous preface, re-
ported from the committee on temperance by
W. p. Koutz, the chairman:
Resolved, That presbytery and Christian
men, we devote ourselves anew to the great temper
ance reform and that in several places, min
listers and elders, will continue wage co-opera
tive with others aggressive warfare against the sa
looms in the face of whatever difficulties exist
arise. until this dire of society shall be ut
tery and forever exterminated.
Resolved, That Charlottesville Presbytery conf
IDENTIFY expects the General Assembly its approach
ing sessions in the city of Omaha in May next, not
only to take position the utmost verge of its former
deverances but to advance to the very front of
temperance column in ringing words and earnest ut
terances and, Furthermore, this Presbytery hopes
that if that sadly mistaken view of Dr. Crosby a
man otherwise eminent, should be mooted on the
floor of the assembly that the drinking, as common
beverage, of modern alcoholic and Intoxicating wine
is scriptural and sanctioned by the divine Savior
himself by his first miracle at Cana of Gallee the
sembly will not fail to utter its indignant and
righteous dissent.
Resolved. That the commissioners of this presby-
terry to the General Assembly arr hereby directed to
lay this report and resolutions before the assembly

For this grabbing propensity on the part of

move on and take more of the country Eng
land that she is about TO lose her East India

The scheme of blooming" towns in the West
is the principal work of syndicate of Minneap-
oils capitalists. 1t is said that they are working
Duluth and Wichita at the same time and by
the same methods. They pick out an obscure
town with few natural resources and, after one
or two wash deals in real estate they succeed
in working up a 'boom." The suckers are taken
in and the excitement is kept up until the origi-
majors have pulled out with their DOODLE" Then
the town falls back deader than ever, and the
potters go to another place. In California the
same thing is being done, but the papers OF San
Francisco have had the courage to expose some
of the humbugs. 1t is said that man cannot
alight from a train to stretch his legs without
danger of being kidnapped by real-estate sharks
and hurried off in buggy to view the site of
some future city. At Wichita the SPECTATORS
have doomed some property till it is bringing

OF the many yarns told abou. Brigham, the
following is at least as good as the average: A
man who had for a long time been strong in the
faith and who believed that black would turn
to white if Brigham told it to. came to the
prophet one day and made unique petition.
This man had lost one of his legs, and doubtless
felt the want of it. for he said to Brigham:
Il have been faithful for long time, have
paid my tithing and observed the doctrines; now

Gen. George A. Sheridan. of Louisiana. has
taken tho platform in defense of the Bible
against the sophistry of Ingersoll Several
years ago. when tae people of Ohio were crazy
on the initiation idea l went with Sheridan to
make a speech at Canton. He had an immense
audience. and among other citizens of distinction
was a venerable man who had ceen the Green
back candidate for the United States Senate
when Judge Thurman was elected the last time.
Sheridan was explaining the difference between
real money and the fiat variety. and by way of
up and said
This, ladies and gentlemen. is money-real
money. 1t always has been money, and it al
ways will be money; you pass it through the
fire and it will not burn; you can bury it in the
